Any update?

After 13 business days of raising the CSE, IRCC replied to me via email that they received my documents , and that it has been forwarded to the visa office handling my case

Hey everyone. Happy to share the story.

I had applied through consultants and I guess they are the slowest guys on earth. (Wish I knew that before). But nonetheless, March 6 AOR.
Meds cleared around March 13

Just a twist, all logins are done through their lawyers and so I was at their mercy to get all updates.

Got RPRF request on Apr 13 which those brilliant people missed to inform me in time. They finally realized and informed me on Apr 24 which I paid on same day and they uploaded the receipt.

Since then I stopped trusting them blindly and this group helped me with a helpline number through which I regularly got automated updates bypassing my consultants

I was in IP1 till June 15, when the I checked the status on call.

Yesterday I checked on call and bammm, it was in IP2. I checked with my consultants for status update and any ppr mail but they said "no mail recieved"

Then I called CIC - this time spoke to the agent. (Wait time was about 25 mins)
EUREKA- She said June 19 was when my application was accepted and they have sent the Golden mail.

So now I am going to my consultants and "politely" asking for this second casual mistake.

But finally got the confirmation and am relieved.
Hope the wait for all ends soon. Fingers crossed.

This long story was for all people who are going through consultants to not blindly trust them

Finally moved to IP2 after waiting for 4 months. timelines are as follows:

Paid RPRF- 7th April
IP2-22nd June

Now waiting for PPR.....

Congrats!! Am in the same boat. Used a consultant too and am at the mercy for updates.

AOR is March 14th and I have been calling CIC for updates too.

Passed my medicals and was told that the background check just started despite the fact that I have received the same message "we don't need your fingerprints/ interview, you passed your medicals, we are currently processing your background check and will contact you if we need additional info......." for over 4 weeks.

The CIC agent mentioned that maybe the office is waiting on the agency that is responsible for the background check.

The wait is killing and my PGWP is about to expire and but I have submitted for an extension (didn't get the full 3 years initially due to early passport expiration) just to be on the safer side.

Hopefully I get good news too, I will ask my consultant if the RPRF was paid initially. Just hate the fact that I don't have direct access to the info.

congratulations to both you and @Pankeet and hopefully your stories (and thousands others) answer the 'Should I hire an immigration consultant' question

Many, many congratulations! It's good to see March people getting PPRs. Just one question though, did your status change online when you moved to IP2? Because you mentioned that the agent told you that you have jumped to IP2, it's crucial to know if they update it online as well. I'm tired of logging in 3 times a day, everyday

Anybody over here who called CIC and got to know that BGC is in progress and eligibility completed and recieved PPR.

How frequently did you call them?

 

[Pankeet]

Well, thats a tricky one. They did help in the filing and guiding and ensuring correct submission. They just became slow and casual in their approach.

The only correction that i would like would be to have control in my hands

I used the automated machine to hear the status updates. It says the same thing which is there online when you log in to your account. I realized that I moved to IP2, when i heard the machine status update "Your bgc is in process ..."

After that, basis my gut feel, i called CIC call center to confirm whether they had sent any mail or not. And they did confirm.

 

[Pankeet]

How frequently did you call them?

I used to check on automated machine for status updates as i did not have my account access. I used to check the status update from machine once every 3 days. (Do note that this is just a machine update and i "DID NOT" talk to CIC call centre executives)

In this entire time of about 3.5 months, i have just called CIC and spoken to executives 2 times
1. During the RPRF delays which my consultants did (so i called up in May end to clarify if there was no issue)
2. After moving to IP2 to confirm for golden mail which they did.
